This
data is compiled by offsetting a Presidentís Administration by a year to
account for the fact that the Federal budget for any given fiscal year is
drafted and passed in the previous calendar year.† For example, 1993ís budget
was drafted and passed in 1992, during the Bush administration, so that year is
ascribed to President Bush, even though President Clinton was in office in
1993.

One
exception has been made:† 2009ís ARRA was drafted and passed by the Obama
administration, creating $114 billion of Federal outlays for 2009.† That amount
has been subtracted from President Bush IIís 2009 budget/deficit total and
added to President Obamaís.
